Common

When we named our children, we chose names we liked. They weren't names we heard a lot, either. I guess we didn't hang out around parks, playgrounds, or school settings often enough (or at all) before having children. How did I find out that we named our kids common names? In a mass-market magazine, of course!

Looks like Caitlin may be in for a lifetime of people misspelling her name. People already get it wrong. Even when they have the correct spelling right in front of them, or have known her for a while (ie, the admin at the dentists office, different teachers). Who knew that the traditional Irish spelling we chose was so out of vogue? But then again, few people get my name right, either.
